Mer info:

The ZPU anti-aircraft gun is a towed weapon system that uses the powerful 14.5×114mm KPV heavy machine gun as its main armament. The ZPU family consists of three variants: the single-barreled ZPU-1, the double-barreled ZPU-2 and the quad-barreled ZPU-4. The ZPU was developed by the Soviet Union in the late 1940s and entered service in 1949. It has been widely used by over 50 countries in various conflicts, such as the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Yom Kippur War, the Afghan War and the Syrian Civil War. The ZPU can fire a variety of ammunition types, including armor-piercing incendiary and high explosive incendiary tracer rounds.
The ZPU can engage low-flying aircraft, helicopters, drones and ground targets at ranges up to 3,000 meters horizontally and 2,000 meters vertically. The ZPU has a high rate of fire of up to 600 rounds per minute per barrel, but this is limited by the heat and recoil of the weapon. The ZPU is mounted on a wheeled carriage that can be lowered onto firing jacks for stability. The ZPU can be towed by a vehicle or carried by a helicopter. The ZPU is operated by a crew of two to six, depending on the variant and the situation. The ZPU has a simple iron sight or an optical sight for aiming. The ZPU is a reliable and effective anti-aircraft gun that has proven its worth in many battles.
